Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

THERE IS NO WAY LAW CAN OUTSMART TECHNOLOGY


Close  Your   Eyes  ?

-----------------------

Today’s technology is telling us :


“  If you want to hide your identity , keep your eyes closed. The moment you open it, world will know everything about you  “



Now , who but the very dead , can keep their eyes closed for ever ?



What am I driving at ?


For many years now , door access was possible by simply peering into a tiny screen , which compared your IRIS image with the images stored in its memory , identified you and let you in



Of late , a few smart phones have built-in IRIS biometric identification features . Soon , all will have , once every smart phone owner installs a payment app which works on IRIS identification


And if they have not already appeared by now , all tablets and desk tops too will ask for IRIS identification in place of a password


TVs and Smart Watches will not be far behind


As if this was not enough , AXIS bank has come out with an IRIS based  micro ATM tablets




A matter of months before all other banks follows

Remember Ted Levitt ?  “ If you don’t make yourself obsolete , someone else will “



If you are an extrovert and relish sharing your “ personality “ with the World , here is good news




If that does not scare you enough , here is what Peter Diamandis writes on his page



Augmented Reality Headsets

 


While the world now has more mobile phones than humans, and the number of smartphones will reach 3.5 billion by 2021, we will soon see the emergence of Augmented Reality Headsets.

Such AR glasses will feature a multitude of forward-looking cameras that image everything at sub-millimeter resolution as you walk about your day.

By the end of 2020, our smartphones, AR glasses, watches, medical wearables and smart dust are expected to constitute 50 billion connected devices, hosting a total of 1 trillion sensors.

And just as the number of connected devices is increasing exponentially, the number of sensors per connected device is also increasing exponentially.

So far, sensors on phones have doubled every four years. This means we can expect 160 sensors per mobile device by 2027, and a world jam-packed with near 100 trillion sensors.

Sensors that can be accessed and interrogated by your AI to answer almost any question.

I can envision waking up in the morning, putting on my augmented reality contact lenses, and forgetting about them for the rest of the day.

While in my eyes, they record every conversation, every person crossing the street, and everything I look at.

Drawing from this constant stream of observational data, I’ll be able to train my social graph and preferences into my AI using the collected data sets.


Dear Shri @RaviShankarPrasadji / Shri @BNShrikrishnaji :

How will proposed  DATA  PROTECTION  LAW  protect the privacy of Indian citizens from every other citizen wearing those augmented reality contact lenses  ?
Even if they decide to keep their eyes closed , while moving around  !
